Welcome to Drumfire Records

Drumfire's very first releases were the four fantastic albums by Darts: their three studio albums recorded for Magnet Records between 1977 and 1979, plus their outstanding first 'Best Of' collection released originally by Magnet/K-Tel in 1978 - The Amazing Darts. The new packages of these albums, in stand-alone form on CD for the first time ever, were released in May 2011. More details can be found on the Darts page including tracklistings. There is a Darts (Drumfire) Facebook page and all albums can be bought from our store.

DRMFR005 was released on July 25th, 2011. Tom T. Hall is one of the finest story-telling songwriters ever, and after decades recording and writing he effectively retired a number of years ago. Still very much involved in music locally and in particular with the Bluegrass musicians that surround him, Tom T. and his wife Miss Dixie created for their own pleasure an album released on their own label 'Blue Circle Records' in the USA only. Drumfire is delighted to have secured agreement with Tom T. and Miss Dixie to fully repackage this record for a fresh new release in the UK and Europe. A fantastic record the Halls are justifiably hugely proud of.

Following this Drumfire is also proud to be associated with the British singer/songwriter Michael Weston King and his latest project My Darling Clementine. My Darling Clementine is a country duets album - Micheal and his partner Lou Dalgleish. Great sleeve photographs conjure up ad evoke memories of the classic Country duet partnerhsips of year gone by..... That's DRMFR006. (In 2013 MDC moved on to another label to release the follow up to 'How Do You Plead? - called 'The Reconciliation?' the second CD is almost as good as the debut!!

The next project for Drumfire was another joy - working with Carmel to prepare reissues of all six studio albums, all released in April 2012. That's DRMFR007 to DRMFR012. Twelve releases in twelve hard months.

Late 2012 saw the release of DRMFR013 - The man from Leith sings the man in black! Dean Owens album 'Cash Back....Songs I Learned From Johnny' was a labour of love for the artist, and a triumph. More great reviews for Drumfire. In the last few months of 2012, Drumfire also kicked off promoting live shows to showcase Drumfire artist. Moving from The Ram Jam Club in Kingston to the Cabbage Patch in Twickenham in 2013, live events developed to include non-label friends.

The one physical release of 2013 was DRMFR015 - 'Travelling Companion' by The Good Intentions.

2014 saw the release of two brand new albums - 'How About Now' by Ags Connolly, and 'Dunfearing And The West Country High' by Phil Burdett. Both received great review and feature in some of the year end 'best albums' round ups. 2014 also saw Drumfire Live set up and book some great gigs and new guests including Martin Stephenson and Clive Gregson.

​2015 saw the release of DRMFR018 - the wonderful 'Into The Sea' by Dean Owens. This album has picked up great reviews once again and Dean's career has gone from strength to strength since the release.
